Although he is best known for his spectacularly vivid paintings of the French countryside, Vincent van Gogh was perhaps equally at home depicting urban settings and their inhabitants. Both aspects of van Gogh's oeuvre are shown to advantage in this generously proportioned monograph—with some two-page spreads as large as 10 1/2 x 20 inches—including many rarely seen paintings and a selection of his elegant drawings and watercolors. Also among the more than 200 images here are related works by such contemporaries as Millet, Gauguin, Seurat, and Cézanne, along with numerous quotations from van Gogh's letters and facsimiles of several of them.
